G1 Carter Handicap - AQU

[Ted Craven]

Yeah I know, Musket Man, Munnings...

But WTF: #1 Digger.

Not got Musket Man Ted, but have Digger and Munnings. Find latter is hard to oppose tbh, but Digger could take it if Munnings runs a bit below form.

Doc's screen says play Digger, so play him Ted imho. WP and box with Munnings maybe.

I've got Digger on top also, but I'm hesitant. The fig is not from this track, or even this circuit. It's from Laurel and has a -21 variant to boot.

At 7F and against this kind of competition, I'm going to listen to that inner voice telling me to just watch the race.

Back to 6f for Digger.

Munnings poor.

That's all part of knowing the track - to bring up a subject from another thread. I know Digger well, even hit on him a few times, but he's outclassed here. Also I just find that Laurel lines just don't translate well and I had the dilemma of using the most recent line vs. using an older, more representative one. I tell ya - I could not have "forced" the eventual winner of that race anyway, I'm glad that I stayed out.

I had a similar reluctance earlier in the day where I ended up in The Excelsior having More Than A Reason on top and it was a case of where I had to depart from the curriculum and say "sometimes class does tell." Besides, at 4/1 the horse was an underlay. The next two choices were too low in odds for a wager, but they did run one/two.
